Mr Labaran Maku, a former Minister of Information in the Goodluck Jonathan administration says that the immunity clause for elected executive officers should be expunged from the Nigerian constitution.
Maku who contested the 2015 governorship election on the platform of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA made the call on Sunday in Wakama, Akun Development Area of Nasarawa State.
He told newsmen that removing the immunity clause, especially the one protecting the president, governors and local government chairmen would help fight corruption and ensure good governance.
“Let us also pray for the peace of the country and give President Muhammadu Buhari the needed support and cooperation to enable him tackle the challenges facing the country.
“I believe that the immunity of state governors should be removed, no governor needs immunity and if it is removed,this will help to check fraud, corruption and mismanagement,” he said.
